After sleeping in for a bit this morning, from a long night at Raw last night...I wake up to Mike's theme song playing. I know it's my phone, but I can faintly hear it from somewhere in the room.
"Go away." I mumble.
"Carebear..." Alex grumbles.
"What?"
"Make your phone stop."
I drag myself out of the bed and walk over to where the phone's going off. I dig through my bag and answer.
"What is it Mike?" I ask yawning.
"We're going to go to my condo for a few days. I figured I'd warn you now so you have time to
get all your stuff together and get ready."
"Well I'm still tired. Let me sleep for a little bit longer."
"Alright, later."
I hang up and drop my phone back into the bag. I walk back over to the bed and crawl back under the covers and just mumble to myself. Alex pulls me over and snuggles closer.
"Remind me to put that on silent or something next time."
Alex just mumbles incoherently. I fall back asleep and meanwhile Aly's obviously up and everything. But she's sprawled out on the bed, maybe not up up.
"So what'd she say?"
"Said to give them some more sleep."
"More sleep. It's 10:30 in the morning."
Mike shrugs.
"Well she has been known to sleep in awfully late. And she calls me the lazy one." She comments.
"Plus you fell asleep earlier than she did."
"That too."
"I pretty much used all my energy beating the crap out of Frenchie yesterday." She adds.
"Her hair was hilarious last night." He chuckles.
"I know." She laughs.
"Always knew that hair was fake."
"I did too but I wasn't expecting to pull it out."
"Well you did a good job with doing that."
"Why thank you." She giggles.
"Even though she's going to get all those extensions replaced anyway."
"She messes with me again I'll just rip them right back out."
"I wouldn't doubt it. By the way, how's your face? You know the scratches."
"It's still a little tender but not too bad." She says, gingerly touching them.
"Well as long as you're alright."
"I'm fine but thank you for the concern." She giggles, and leans over to kiss his cheek.
After a while of laying there, she decides to get up and change. After changing she looked at the clock and it was well after noontime and Alex and I still aren't up, or so she thought.
"Alright, those two are getting up now."
She calls us with her phone and I answer, being more awake this time.
"We're up, don't worry." I answer her, before she could even say anything.
"Just making sure." She laughs.
"When are we leaving anyway?"
"About 45 minutes."
"Okay, see you then." She says, then hanging up.
"They're up." She says to Mike.
"Good." Mike says.
"They'll meet us out in the hall like usual." She adds.
"Well duh." He chuckles.
"Just informing you Mr. Smarty Pants." She sticks her tongue out.
"You know now we got a lot of planning of the wedding to do." She points out.
"Yeah you have a point." He nods.
"That's what a wedding planner is for though you know." He adds.
"True. But there's still quite a bit to do."
"We have time, don't worry." He assures.
"And we still have to pick out the date."
"Alright Lyssa, listen to me. We have plenty of time to figure all that out."
"I'm just a little worried okay? We have to plan this from the road." She says while biting her lip.
"I know, it's going to be hard since we're on the road a lot. But I believe that we will manage
to do it."
"Plus I have to find the time to get with my Mom and sister and everything and go dress
shopping." She nods.
"Well we'll have to be sure to go back to Chicago at some point so you can do that."
"It doesn't exactly have to be Chicago but we do have to make some time for it. It will be
easier to do things when we have a date set." She points out.
"Right." He nods.
"We could decide now." She says hesitantly.
"We have time before we meet up with Dolce and DC."
"True. Well what did you have in mind?"
"Well...I was thinking of something in the summer."
"Makes sense, have it when it's warmer out."
She nods.
"Having it in the summer sounds great."
"So that would narrow it to June, July, and August." She muses.
"Right. Well what month sounds the best for you?"
"You tell me. I know you're going to tell me to choose whatever I want for everything but I
want your opinion." She says to him.
"Hmmm, how about July? Middle of the summer."
"That sounds good. And you know what I just noticed?"
"What?"
"July is 3 months after my birthday and 3 months before yours." She comments and he
thinks about it for a minute.
"Oh yeah, that's just weird." He chuckles.
"Okay so July it is. Now to look at specific dates." She picks up her phone, looking at the calendar where she has all of the known show dates and what not written in.
"Hmmm, how about the 20th?" She suggests after looking at the calendar.
"Yeah that's good." He says, looking over her shoulder.
"Then it's set, July 20th." She states.
"Good." He smiles.
She smiles back and giggles as he drops a quick kiss. She sits there for the remaining time, until it was time to head out so we could all go out to LA to Mike's place. They get their bags and meet Alex and I out in the hall.
"You awake over there?" She asks me, giggling.
I stick my tongue out and Aly laughs.
"I was up late last night, I needed to sleep in."
"If you say so."
"But we have somewhere to go don't we? We're wasting time."
"Right." She nods and we head out to the airport.
Once we get there, we walk in and board the plane.
"Well at least this flight wont be that long."
"Yeah."
"So what were you doing for those 45 minutes earlier?" I ask, turning around to look at Aly.
"Mainly talking about the wedding." She replies.
"Ooooh, did you decide on a date?"
"July 20th."
"Ah, that reminds me. We have that decision to make too." I say, turning back around and talking to Alex.
"Yeah."
"But we can do that later, we have plenty of time." I state and he nods.
We kept ourselves occupied during the flight, which made it go by a little quicker. Once we landed, we got off the plane and got into a car and went to Mike's place.
"My bed!" Mike exclaims, falling on it as soon as they walk into his bedroom.
"Missed it much?" Aly teases, while laughing.
"You have no idea."
She shakes her head in amusement.
"It's comfortable...sue me." He chuckles.
"Oh I know." She giggles.
"But I think I'm up for a swim."
"You can go, I'll be out there in a few. Let me enjoy this for a few minutes."
"You do that." She laughs and grabs her swimsuit, going into the bathroom to change.
After changing and grabbing a towel, she walks out of the bathroom and bedroom then heading outside to the pool and everything. She decides to just lay by the pool for a little while. Then Mike comes out of the bedroom, all ready to go out there with her.
"Nice hair." I laugh as he walks by the couch.
"You fall asleep in there?"
"...shut up..."
"Why don't you make me." I tease, laughing.
He picks up a pillow on the chair and throws it at me. I duck out of the way just in time.
"Pffftt missed me."
"Whatever." He says and then steps outside.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." I mutter.
Meanwhile Aly's laying outside, having rolled onto her stomach for a while. A shadow moves over her.
"You're blocking the sun." She says, without opening her eyes.
"I know." Mike chuckles.
"Well quit."
"Better?" He asks, moving.
"Yes, thank you."
He walks around and all she hears is a splash, from him jumping into the pool.
"You splash me before I decide to get in and I'm not going to be happy." She tells him after waiting until she was sure he had surfaced.
"I wasn't planning on splashing you."
"Yes you were. I know you." She laughs.
"That may be, but you have no proof that I was even planning on splashing you."
"Whatever you say babe."
"But what would happen if I were to drop a single waterdrop on you?"
"Like you would be that patient."
"Try me." He challenges.
"How about no."
"Oh fine, ruin my fun."
"You'll live." She says amusedly.
"I don't know about that." He says all dramatically, clearly joking.
She laughs, opening her eyes and rolling over.
"Really?"
"Really. I may die if you don't get in here." He says dramatically, putting a hand on his chest.
"Alright Mr. Drama Queen." She stands up and walks over to the steps.
He then starts jumping around, saying 'yes' repeatedly.
"You are SUCH a goofball." She laughs as she wades down the steps.
"Ah, but you love me." He says, stopping his 'celebration' briefly before continuing.
"I do." She agrees with a laughing sigh.
"Alright, stop your little mini spazzing moment." She adds, laughing.
He keeps going and she swims closer.
"Cut it out goof."
He doesn't listen and keeps doing it, trying to hide his laughter.
"I'm going to get out."
He immediately stops and stares at her. He then grabs her and pulls her closer.
"Nooo." He whines.
"Alright, cool it cheeseball."
"Cheeseball?" He asks, chuckling.
"Yes. Cheeseball."
"I am not a cheeseball."
"Yes you are." She giggles.
"Does it look like I'm made of cheese?"
"When you over do your spray tan maybe." She snickers.
"Hey, it's the backstage people who do that."
"Suuuuure."
"Or do you secretly want to be on Jersey Shore?" She adds.
She sees the look in his eyes as she keeps teasing him and she slips out of his arms, swimming backwards while giggling.
"Oh, you're in trouble now." He says, going after her.
"Uh-oh." She laughs, swimming faster.
"You can't get away from me."
She gives up and lets him catch her.
"You let me catch you." He points out.
"But thank you."
"Mmhmm...now what? You better not go piranha again, this one still hasn't gone away." She says, after seeing him grin.
"Oh no, I wasn't thinking that at all."
"Sure you weren't..."
"Does this say I was thinking about going piranha?" He says, kissing her.
"...no..."
"Then I rest my case." He mumbles, while kissing her still. Soon she feels her back hit the pool wall. They're still kissing when she hears the door slide open.
"PDA-A-A." She hears my voice.
Mike pulls back and drops his head into her neck, whining.
"Hi Dolce." She laughs.
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just out here to look at the view of LA."
"Uh-huh." She says amusedly.
"No I'm serious." I say, walking over to the wall.
The door slides open again.
"Hi DC."
"It's a party now." I laugh.
"Apparently." Alex chuckles while walking over to me and setting his hands on my hips, dropping a kiss on my shoulder.
"Don't mind us, continue on." I say to Aly and Mike.
"I don't know if he wants to move." She giggles, prodding Mike since he hasn't moved from her neck.
"Don't tell me he's planning on going piranha on you now."
"I told him not to and that's how we ened up like we were when you came out."
"But you know, since when does he ever listen?" I ask, giggling.
"Exactly." She sighs and nods.
"Have fun over there." I laugh, looking back at the city.
"Yours faded." Alex says quietly, after inspecting my neck.
"Yeah, they do that after a while." I point out.
"I think we need to fix that." He smirks.
"Oh no you don't."
"Yes." He chuckles.
"I don't think so."
He starts anyway.
"Nooo." I say, trying to move my neck away.
He slides his arms around me and locks me in place, chuckling against my skin. After a few more minutes of struggling, I had no choice but to give in and I feel him smirk.
"Sharkboy!" Aly exclaims, giggling and Alex starts laughing.
Then she feels Mike starting himself.
"No no no..." She whines, trying to scooch away.
He braces his hands on the wall on either side of her.
"There's no getting away." He says and she sighs.
So now the both of them are basically attacking our necks. Finally they beging to stop.
"Those better be coverable." Aly mutters.
"Don't worry they are." Mike replies.
"Good."
"I don't think we can say the same thing for Dolce though." She says, giggling and Mike snickers.
"I'm assuming it's not coverable this time." I say, after Alex stops and He smirks and chuckles.
"Only you." I shake my head.
"You know you love me."
"Yes I do, which is why I said yes to marrying you."
"And I thank you very much for saying yes." He says, placing a kiss on my cheek.
"You're very welcome."
"Are you comfortable?" Aly asks Mike since he's moved back to leaning on her.
"Yes I am." He smiles.
"Seems like it."
"Alright, we'll give you two the alone time back and we'll head back inside." I say to Aly and
Mike, turning around.
"Okay, have fun." Aly replies.
"You too." I reply back, heading back inside.
"Are you going to be moving anytime soon?" She asks Mike.
"I don't know, do you want me to?"
"Um...sort of. I mean we did come out here to swim."
He stops leaning against her and starts swimming backwards.
"There, we can swim."
She swims forward and kisses him and then swims away, laughing.
"You did not just do that and swim away." He chuckles.
"Oh but I did."
"You're sneaky you know that right?" He says, swimming in her direction.
"Uh-huh." She laughs, keeping her distance.
"But not as sneaky as I am."
"Oh really."
"Really."
"Bring it."
He disappears underwater and starts swimming around. She watches him with a laugh and moves as he tries to grab her.
"You know I can see you underwater right?" She giggles as he comes up for air.
Then she laughs at the look on his face.
"It'd be a different story if I wasn't paying attention." She adds and he pouts.
"Had a blonde moment, didn't you."
"Noooo." He replies.
"Yes you did."
"Riiiiight."
"Okay I think I'm going to get out now. We should come out and swim or go in the jacuzzi after it gets dark when everything is lit up." She says.
"Good idea. Race you out of the pool."
"You're on."
"On the count of three. 1...2...3!" He yells, starting to swim towards the stairs.
She doesn't even bother going for the stairs, she swims to the side of the pool and climbs out.
"Heyyy, cheater." He says, getting out of the pool.
"You never said we had to use the stairs." She giggles.
"I thought it was clearly made aware when I said race."
"Nope."
"Okay then next time, we only use the stairs." He states.
"Okay. Sure thing." She laughs.
"And if you decide to cheat, there will be consequences."
"Like what?" She challenges.
"I haven't thought that far yet."
She laughs and walks over to the chair where he towel is and picks it up, starting to pat herself dry. Once she feels that she's dry enough, she follows Mike back inside.
"Hey they didn't drown." Alex jokes.
"And why would we have drowned?"
"Nevermind, you killed the joke."
"Aww I'm sorry for killing the joke." She giggles, patting the top of his head.
"Hey hey, hands off." He swats at her.
She dodges his hands and messes up his hair even more.
"Quit it." He says.
She does it again just to aggravate him, laughing.
"I got a pillow and I'm not afraid to use it." He threatens, and I'm sitting there trying so hard to hide my laughter.
"Bring it." She laughs, still dodging him.
He grabs a pillow and gets ready to hit her with it. She snags the pillow and rubs it on his head, messing his hair up with it.
"Alright that's it." He says, turning around quickly and lunging over the couch at her. She squeals and runs, while Mike and I are laughing hard.
"You better run." He says, jumping over the couch and going after her.
She just laughs and runs faster.
"You can't hide for long!" Mike and I hear him yell.
She comes running back into the livingroom.
"There's nowhere to hide out here you know." I point out.
"Can't really hide much in a condo." She sighs, deciding to hide behind Mike and soon Alex comes out.
"Hah! Got you now." He says, seeing her hiding behind Mike.
She grins sheepishly.
"But you can't get me now, Mike's in front of me."
She gives him a cheesy grin while clinging to Mike.
"Want to bet? He can't stop me."
"Don't let him get me." She hisses to Mike, giggling and he nods at her.
"Alex...no."
"Mikeeeee, she messed up my hair!" Alex whines.
"It's not hard to fix you know."
"Not compared to mine anyway." Aly adds.
"You'll live." I say from the couch, giggling.
Alex comes and sits by me, sulking.
"Hey now, no sulking...happy face."
He looks at me for a minute.
"Kiss first?"
"Well how can I say no to that?" I say, then kissing him.
He grins when I pull back.
"Happy now?"
"Yes I am."
"Good, no more sulking."
"I'm good."
"You can come out from hiding now." I say to Aly.
"I need to change out of my suit anyway."
"You go do that."
"I need to change myself." Mike comments, following her.
"Alright, I think we need to talk wedding details." I say to Alex, while they're both gone getting changed.
"Alright." He agrees.
"First of all, it's going to be hard to do all this when we're travelling all over the place."
"Right, isn't that what wedding planners are for though?"
"Yeah but we need to decide on a date and everything before we can even go ahead and hire one."
"Okay, what were you thinking?"
"I was thinking sometime in the summer, either June or August. Not July because their wedding date is in July and I don't want it the same month as them."
"Hm...I think I like June better than August."
"That's what I was thinking...June since it's the beginning of summer and everything."
Alex nods.
"Now the only thing that I know of that we have for the month of June for live shows is Fatal Four Way on the 19th. If we stick to a day a little towards the end of the month we should be good." I say, taking out my phone and going into the calendar.
"Hmmm...how about the 22nd? It's the Wednesday after and we'll the few days after that before Raw that following Monday." I add.
"That sounds good."
"Let's just hope that nothing happens to you before then. You know like getting hurt in a match or whatever."
"We'll deal with it if it comes." He says.
"Right. Now I want your ideas on some of this. Any ideas on where you want it to be?"
He thinks for a minute or two.
"How about the beach?"
"It's like you're a mind reader. I was thinking that."
He chuckles.
"The beach it is then. Can you guess what beach I think we should have it at?"
"I don't know, you tell me."
"Well I'll give you a hint...two words...first date."
"Ohhhh right."
"I think that would be the perfect place."
"It would." He agrees, kissing my cheek.
"At least we got the more important stuff out of the way. It's just minor details now."
"What is?" Aly asks, walking back out into the livingroom.
"Wedding stuff." I reply.
"We decided on June 22nd at the beach where we had our first date."
"Awww."
"You know what I just realized though? I get married before you do."
"Just like you two met, got together, and got engaged before we did." She points out.
"Oh yeah...that's just uncanny."
"Yeah well that seems to be a reoccuring theme in our lives."
"But at least our lives are happy."
"Very true." She says, smiling back at Mike.
"So what're we doing now? Just hanging around or what?"
"We could do something I guess, I don't really have any ideas though."
"We could go driving around, it's better than nothing."
"Ooh ooh we could stop and get slurpees while we're out driving!" Aly says excitedly.
"That does sound like a good idea." I agree.
"Let's do it." Mike says.
He grabs his keys and we all head out and down to his car, starting to drive around. A song comes on and Mike and Alex look at each other with big grins. As soon as the chorus came on to the song, they started singing along. I cover my mouth to keep from laughing. Aly doesn't even bother hiding it, she just starts laughing. I can't hold it in any longer and I laugh harder.
"Oh...my...god."
"This is priceless!" Aly gasps through her laughter.
They sing along to the chorus one more time before stopping.
"Ohhh we should've recorded that."
Aly nods, giggling. Then the sound of 'Poker Face' starts playing.
"Oh no..."
Aly slips out her phone, recording Mike as he james and sings to the song. As soon as the song was over, a commercial came on the radio.
"You so would Mike."
"And I did." He grins.
After driving along for a while, we spot a slurpee place and we stopped, got out and walked inside.
"Blue raspberry, yay."
"Watermelon is better." I argue jokingly and she sticks her tongue out.
"At least my flavor don't change the color of your tongue much. You got a blue tongue from that slurpee."
"So?"
"I'm just saying."
"Whatever, nyaaahhhh." She says, blowing a raspberry.
"You know what's fun? When you put these in the freezer for a while, it's ice...you can stab it to break it up."
"Nice."
"Kill the slurpee." I laugh.
We laugh and pay for the drinks, going back to the car and getting in.
"Onward...drive."
"Woo."
We basically drove around until sundown, that's when we headed back. We get back to Mike's as the sun was still setting and we all stand outside watching on the roof.
"The day just zoomed on by."
"Yeah it did."
"At least we get to hang out here for a few more days."
"You know, she got video of you jamming and singing to Poker Face." I say to Mike, pointing to Aly.
"Really?" He says, looking at her.
"Uh-huh." She giggles.
"It was too much of a priceless moment to NOT get on camera so I had to." She says and
he chuckles.
"But what was really funny was when you and DC sang to that first song."
"Ohhhh that was great." She laughs.
Once the sun set all the way, we all headed back inside. Aly and I both yawn.
"Someone's tired."
"Mmm.."
"Want to go to bed?" Mike asks Aly and she nods lightly.
"Carry you, or can you walk?"
She goes to speak but ends up yawning again.
"I'll take that as carrying you." He chuckles, picking her up.
She waves to Alex and I, then curls up against Mike sleepily. He walks to his room and sets her down, so that she's standing.
"Alright, go get changed."
She nods and does so. After changing she comes out and puts her other clothes in her bag, before crawling under the covers next to him.
"Night, love you." she says sleepily.
"Love you too." He says, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into him.
Meanwhile, Alex and I are out in the livingroom still.
"You're tired too." Alex says to me.
"Yeah, but not as tired as her."
"How about we get changed and lay down?" He suggests.
"Sounds good, that way if one of us starts falling asleep we can just well go to sleep."
"Exactly."
"And I can walk, just letting you know now." I say, before we head down the hall and to the bedroom.
He walks behind me, chuckling. After getting to the room, I go to change.
"Just telling you now, when I come back out from changing, try not to attack me. You'll see why I just said that when I come out."
His eyebrows raise up when I come out.
"No attacking me now..." I say, crawling under the covers and just laying there.
"So tempting..." He mutters.
"You'll live." I giggle and he pouts.
"Oh don't give me that face."
The pout gets deeper.
"Not going to work." I say, trying so hard not to give in right now.
Then he adds in the puppy dog eyes
"Oh you did not just go there." I say, looking away so it doesn't make me give in.
He snickers inwardly but snuggles into me, still making the face. I still try not to give in, but that did it for me.
"Alright, I give up."
He laughs but doesn't go for my neck, giving me a long kiss on the lips instead.
"You sneak." I mumble and he smirks.
After a while, I had to pull back for air.
"Y...you're...amazing you know that right?"
"So are you." He replies, resting his forehead against mine.
"I think...I think we should go to sleep now."
He places a light kiss on my lips.
"Alright." He agrees, shifting to lay in his spot and he pulls me close.
"Night love."
"Night."
